On August 15th, 2017, Advice Group lawyer of Dispute Resolution practice, Mariia Ihnatova, protected the interests of the leading logistics company in Western Ukraine at Higher Economic Court of Ukraine.

Thus, the Court upheld the decision of the appellate court and confirmed the duly established guilt of the Carrier, and the application of the Convention on the Agreement for the International Carriage of Goods concerning the presumption of the Carrier's guilt and the obligation of the latter to pay damages incurred.

The aforementioned Court position once again confirms the priority of applying the presumption of the Carrier's guilt and will further become the legal basis for consideration of such disputes by courts.
